Cannes Prizewinner ‘All We Imagine as Light’ to Begin Indian Oscar-Qualifying Run With Kerala Theatrical Release (EXCLUSIVE)


Payal Kapadia's Cannes winner 'All We Imagine as Light' will begin its Indian Oscar-qualifying run with a release in the southern state of Kerala.

Written and directed by Kapadia in her narrative directorial debut, the film tells the story of two Kerala women in Mumbai — Prabha, a troubled nurse who receives an unexpected gift from her estranged husband, and Anu, her young roommate who is seeking a place to be intimate with her boyfriend. The film, which won the Grand Prix at Cannes earlier this year, stars Kani Kusruti, Divya Prabha and Hridhu Haroon, all of whom hail from Kerala. It made the French Oscar shortlist but the country eventually chose auteur Jacques Audiard’s redemption thriller “Emilia Perez,” which won two major awards at Cannes, for the international feature film race.
